#georgewbush — Public Fediverse posts

A generation after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on New York City and Washington, the enduring consequences of that event continue to shape global security and stability. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2026/09/11/stains-of-sept-11-linger/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials #911 #middleeast #us #iraq #georgewbush #usjapanrelations #defensebarackobama #osamabinladen #terrorism #alqaida #junichirokoizumi #shinzoabe #sdf

#MichaelSavage’s #SavageNation episode that aired on #September11 is certainly offensive, especially by modern standards, but still worth listening to.

Why do you think that #GeorgeWBush was able to pass the #PatriotAct or justify the #WarOnTerror, attacking the #Taliban, #AlQaeda, and invading #Iraq on poor intel that they had WMDs?

Americans were willing to do anything to respond to a terrorist attack that deadly and of that scale.

9/11: The "Official Story" Is a Fairy Tale for Adults

Two planes. Three buildings. A trillion-dollar accounting error. A passport that survived a fireball. If you believe the government's version, you'll believe anything.

Three Towers, Two Planes, One Impossible Physics Problem

Let's start with the simplest fact that no one in the mainstream media wants to explain: on September 11, 2001, two planes hit two buildings, but three buildings fell down.

World Trade Center Building 7 was a 47-story skyscraper that was not hit by any plane. It suffered only minor fires and superficial damage. Yet at 5:20 PM that afternoon, it collapsed into its own footprint at virtually free-fall speed — the signature of a controlled demolition.

Building 7 housed the offices of the Secret Service, the CIA, and — most crucially — the US Securities and Exchange Commission. All the files for approximately 3,000 to 4,000 SEC cases, including the Enron scandal, were destroyed in that collapse.

Enron. The biggest corporate fraud in American history. The investigation files. Gone.

And what did the 9/11 Commission Report say about Building 7? Nothing. Not a single word.

If that doesn't make you pause, nothing will.

The "Pull It" Moment

Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center complex, gave an interview for a PBS documentary in which he described the decision-making on September 11. His words: "I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse."

"Pull it."

In demolition industry terminology, "pull" means to bring a building down with explosives. Silverstein's spokesman later claimed he meant "pull the firefighters out" — but you don't "pull" firefighters. You pull buildings. And Building 7 came down in a textbook controlled demolition.

Six Weeks Before

Here's a detail that should have been on the front page of every newspaper: Larry Silverstein signed the lease for the World Trade Center just six weeks before 9/11.

Six weeks.

And what did he do almost immediately after signing that lease? He negotiated a massive insurance policy — $3.55 billion in coverage, with a clause specifically covering terrorism.

The previous insurance on the property was roughly half that amount. Silverstein reportedly insisted on the terrorism clause. And after the attacks, he went to court arguing that because two planes hit two towers, he should be paid twice — nearly $7 billion.

A man leases a property six weeks before its destruction, quadruples the insurance, adds terrorism coverage, and then argues for a double payout. In any other context, investigators would call that a motive.

The Mastermind in a Cave

The official story tells us that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged "mastermind" of 9/11, coordinated the entire operation from a cave in Afghanistan using a phone and a laptop.

A man on dialysis. In a cave. In one of the most remote regions on Earth. Directing the most sophisticated terrorist attack in history, coordinating 19 hijackers across the United States, managing flight schools, finances, and logistics — all from a cave.

Meanwhile, the hijackers allegedly brought down the World Trade Center with box cutters. Utility knives. Against trained pilots and crew. And they supposedly overpowered the passengers on four separate flights.

If you believe that, you also believe that a passport belonging to one of the hijackers — Satam al-Suqami — survived the fireball explosion that supposedly cremated him, flew out of his pocket, and landed intact on the street blocks away, ready to be found by investigators.

The bodies of hundreds of victims were never recovered. But the hijacker's passport? Pristine.

The President Who Knew

On the morning of September 11, President George W. Bush was at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, reading "The Pet Goat" to a group of second-graders.

He was informed that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. He stayed in the classroom for another five to seven minutes.

Later, in December 2001 and again in January 2002, Bush claimed he saw the first plane hit the tower on television before entering the classroom. "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower," he said.

But here's the problem: no cameras were trained on the World Trade Center at the time of the first impact. No live footage of the first plane hitting the North Tower existed until much later. The first crash was not broadcast live.

So how did Bush see it?

Either he was lying, or he had prior knowledge. His spokesman later called it a "mistaken recollection".

A mistaken recollection about the most significant event of his presidency. Right.

The Pentagon: The Day Before and the Day Of

On September 10, 2001 — one day before the attacks — Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld gave a speech at the Pentagon. In that speech, he admitted something extraordinary:

"According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions."

$2.3 trillion. Missing. Unaccounted for. The day before the Pentagon was hit.

The following day, a plane — or something — struck the Pentagon. And the very section of the building that was hit? The area where the accounting and financial records were kept.

The missing money? The records that might have explained it? Destroyed.

Less than 48 hours after Rumsfeld admitted the Pentagon couldn't account for trillions, the evidence went up in flames. If you're a conspiracy theorist, that's not a coincidence. That's a cover-up.

No Plane, No Bodies, No Parts

The Pentagon is one of the most secure buildings on Earth. Cameras cover every inch of it. Multiple security cameras recorded the approach.

Not a single frame showing the plane hitting the Pentagon was released to the public for years. When footage was finally released in 2006, it was grainy, low-resolution, and showed nothing clearly identifiable as a Boeing 757.

The hole in the Pentagon was approximately five meters across — far too small for a 757 with a wingspan of nearly 38 meters. Conspiracy theorists pointed out that the lawn was clean after the attack, with no wing debris, no tail section, no engines.

At most plane crashes around the world, you find bodies, seats, luggage, engine parts, landing gear — debris scattered across a wide area. At the Pentagon, the official story claims the plane completely disintegrated on impact, vaporized by the heat of the explosion.

But if the plane vaporized, why were there no bodies? Why no plane parts? Why did witnesses describe a missile or a military aircraft?

And why did the government fight so hard to keep the footage secret?

The Dancing Israelis

On the morning of September 11, five men were arrested in Liberty State Park, New Jersey. They had been videotaping the attacks — and witnesses reported they were celebrating, "dancing" as the towers burned.

They worked for a company called Urban Moving Systems, which the FBI later determined was a Mossad front.

They were detained, interrogated, and eventually deported. The official explanation? They were just "celebrating" — nothing to see here.

But if five men with cameras and a Mossad cover company were positioned to film the attacks before they happened, that suggests foreknowledge. And foreknowledge suggests involvement.

The Passport and the Phone Call

We already mentioned the hijacker passport that survived the fireball. But let's add another detail.

The alleged hijackers were supposedly led by a man on dialysis in a cave who used a satellite phone and a laptop to coordinate everything.

But satellite phones in Afghanistan in 2001? Laptops in caves? The logistics are absurd. The 9/11 Commission itself found that the attacks were planned and executed by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — a man who was later captured and waterboarded 183 times. The "intelligence" used to justify the Iraq War came from torture. And the CIA destroyed the tapes of those interrogations.

The evidence is gone. The "mastermind" was tortured into confession. And the American public was told to accept it.

What the 9/11 Commission Didn't Investigate

The 9/11 Commission was delayed, underfunded, and based on testimony extracted from torture.

It didn't mention Building 7. It didn't investigate who funded the attacks. It didn't examine Operation Able Danger, the military intelligence program that allegedly identified some of the hijackers before 9/11. It didn't look at the war games being conducted on the morning of 9/11 — simulations of hijacked planes flying into buildings — that were running at the exact same time as the real attacks.

President Bush and Vice President Cheney testified in secret, off the record, not under oath, and behind closed doors.

What were they hiding?

The Pattern

Two planes. Three buildings. A leaseholder with terrorism insurance. A president who "saw" a crash that wasn't broadcast. A Pentagon with $2.3 trillion missing. No plane footage. No bodies. No parts. A passport that survived a fireball. Five Israelis filming and celebrating. A commission that investigated nothing.

You don't have to have all the answers to know that the official story doesn't add up. You just have to be willing to look at the facts and ask the question that the mainstream media refuses to ask:

Who benefited?

The military-industrial complex got a blank check for endless war. The surveillance state got the PATRIOT Act. The financial crimes of Enron and others got buried in the rubble of Building 7. And the American people got a story — a story that falls apart the moment you examine it.

Two planes did not bring down three towers.

Wake up.

The bodies of hundreds of victims were never recovered. But the hijacker's passport? Pristine.

The President Who Knew

On the morning of September 11, President George W. Bush was at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, reading "The Pet Goat" to a group of second-graders.

He was informed that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. He stayed in the classroom for another five to seven minutes.

Later, in December 2001 and again in January 2002, Bush claimed he saw the first plane hit the tower on television before entering the classroom. "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower," he said.

But here's the problem: no cameras were trained on the World Trade Center at the time of the first impact. No live footage of the first plane hitting the North Tower existed until much later. The first crash was not broadcast live.

So how did Bush see it?

Either he was lying, or he had prior knowledge. His spokesman later called it a "mistaken recollection".

A mistaken recollection about the most significant event of his presidency. Right.

The Pentagon: The Day Before and the Day Of

On September 10, 2001 — one day before the attacks — Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld gave a speech at the Pentagon. In that speech, he admitted something extraordinary:

"According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions."

$2.3 trillion. Missing. Unaccounted for. The day before the Pentagon was hit.

The following day, a plane — or something — struck the Pentagon. And the very section of the building that was hit? The area where the accounting and financial records were kept.

The missing money? The records that might have explained it? Destroyed.

Less than 48 hours after Rumsfeld admitted the Pentagon couldn't account for trillions, the evidence went up in flames. If you're a conspiracy theorist, that's not a coincidence. That's a cover-up.

No Plane, No Bodies, No Parts

The Pentagon is one of the most secure buildings on Earth. Cameras cover every inch of it. Multiple security cameras recorded the approach.

Not a single frame showing the plane hitting the Pentagon was released to the public for years. When footage was finally released in 2006, it was grainy, low-resolution, and showed nothing clearly identifiable as a Boeing 757.

The hole in the Pentagon was approximately five meters across — far too small for a 757 with a wingspan of nearly 38 meters. Conspiracy theorists pointed out that the lawn was clean after the attack, with no wing debris, no tail section, no engines.

At most plane crashes around the world, you find bodies, seats, luggage, engine parts, landing gear — debris scattered across a wide area. At the Pentagon, the official story claims the plane completely disintegrated on impact, vaporized by the heat of the explosion.

But if the plane vaporized, why were there no bodies? Why no plane parts? Why did witnesses describe a missile or a military aircraft?

And why did the government fight so hard to keep the footage secret?

The Dancing Israelis

On the morning of September 11, five men were arrested in Liberty State Park, New Jersey. They had been videotaping the attacks — and witnesses reported they were celebrating, "dancing" as the towers burned.

They worked for a company called Urban Moving Systems, which the FBI later determined was a Mossad front.

They were detained, interrogated, and eventually deported. The official explanation? They were just "celebrating" — nothing to see here.

But if five men with cameras and a Mossad cover company were positioned to film the attacks before they happened, that suggests foreknowledge. And foreknowledge suggests involvement.

The Passport and the Phone Call

We already mentioned the hijacker passport that survived the fireball. But let's add another detail.

The alleged hijackers were supposedly led by a man on dialysis in a cave who used a satellite phone and a laptop to coordinate everything.

But satellite phones in Afghanistan in 2001? Laptops in caves? The logistics are absurd. The 9/11 Commission itself found that the attacks were planned and executed by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — a man who was later captured and waterboarded 183 times. The "intelligence" used to justify the Iraq War came from torture. And the CIA destroyed the tapes of those interrogations.

The evidence is gone. The "mastermind" was tortured into confession. And the American public was told to accept it.

What the 9/11 Commission Didn't Investigate

The 9/11 Commission was delayed, underfunded, and based on testimony extracted from torture.

It didn't mention Building 7. It didn't investigate who funded the attacks. It didn't examine Operation Able Danger, the military intelligence program that allegedly identified some of the hijackers before 9/11. It didn't look at the war games being conducted on the morning of 9/11 — simulations of hijacked planes flying into buildings — that were running at the exact same time as the real attacks.

President Bush and Vice President Cheney testified in secret, off the record, not under oath, and behind closed doors.

What were they hiding?

The Pattern

Two planes. Three buildings. A leaseholder with terrorism insurance. A president who "saw" a crash that wasn't broadcast. A Pentagon with $2.3 trillion missing. No plane footage. No bodies. No parts. A passport that survived a fireball. Five Israelis filming and celebrating. A commission that investigated nothing.

You don't have to have all the answers to know that the official story doesn't add up. You just have to be willing to look at the facts and ask the question that the mainstream media refuses to ask:

Who benefited?

The military-industrial complex got a blank check for endless war. The surveillance state got the PATRIOT Act. The financial crimes of Enron and others got buried in the rubble of Building 7. And the American people got a story — a story that falls apart the moment you examine it.

Two planes did not bring down three towers.

Wake up.

9/11: The "Official Story" Is a Fairy Tale for Adults

Two planes. Three buildings. A trillion-dollar accounting error. A passport that survived a fireball. If you believe the government's version, you'll believe anything.

Three Towers, Two Planes, One Impossible Physics Problem

Let's start with the simplest fact that no one in the mainstream media wants to explain: on September 11, 2001, two planes hit two buildings, but three buildings fell down.

World Trade Center Building 7 was a 47-story skyscraper that was not hit by any plane. It suffered only minor fires and superficial damage. Yet at 5:20 PM that afternoon, it collapsed into its own footprint at virtually free-fall speed — the signature of a controlled demolition.

Building 7 housed the offices of the Secret Service, the CIA, and — most crucially — the US Securities and Exchange Commission. All the files for approximately 3,000 to 4,000 SEC cases, including the Enron scandal, were destroyed in that collapse.

Enron. The biggest corporate fraud in American history. The investigation files. Gone.

And what did the 9/11 Commission Report say about Building 7? Nothing. Not a single word.

If that doesn't make you pause, nothing will.

The "Pull It" Moment

Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center complex, gave an interview for a PBS documentary in which he described the decision-making on September 11. His words: "I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse."

"Pull it."

In demolition industry terminology, "pull" means to bring a building down with explosives. Silverstein's spokesman later claimed he meant "pull the firefighters out" — but you don't "pull" firefighters. You pull buildings. And Building 7 came down in a textbook controlled demolition.

Six Weeks Before

Here's a detail that should have been on the front page of every newspaper: Larry Silverstein signed the lease for the World Trade Center just six weeks before 9/11.

Six weeks.

And what did he do almost immediately after signing that lease? He negotiated a massive insurance policy — $3.55 billion in coverage, with a clause specifically covering terrorism.

The previous insurance on the property was roughly half that amount. Silverstein reportedly insisted on the terrorism clause. And after the attacks, he went to court arguing that because two planes hit two towers, he should be paid twice — nearly $7 billion.

A man leases a property six weeks before its destruction, quadruples the insurance, adds terrorism coverage, and then argues for a double payout. In any other context, investigators would call that a motive.

The Mastermind in a Cave

The official story tells us that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged "mastermind" of 9/11, coordinated the entire operation from a cave in Afghanistan using a phone and a laptop.

A man on dialysis. In a cave. In one of the most remote regions on Earth. Directing the most sophisticated terrorist attack in history, coordinating 19 hijackers across the United States, managing flight schools, finances, and logistics — all from a cave.

Meanwhile, the hijackers allegedly brought down the World Trade Center with box cutters. Utility knives. Against trained pilots and crew. And they supposedly overpowered the passengers on four separate flights.

If you believe that, you also believe that a passport belonging to one of the hijackers — Satam al-Suqami — survived the fireball explosion that supposedly cremated him, flew out of his pocket, and landed intact on the street blocks away, ready to be found by investigators.

The bodies of hundreds of victims were never recovered. But the hijacker's passport? Pristine.

Merz hat’s schon wieder getan

Friedrich Merz hat seine ganz besondere Auffassung vom Völkerrecht. In Sachen Ukaine gilt es für ihn, im Fall Irans offensichtlich nicht. Sein Auftritt beim Bundesverband der deutschen Industrie knüpfte an seine Dampfplauderei nach dem G-7 Gipfel an: Man wird doch wohl noch sagen dürfen…

Diese Haltung ist in rechten bis rechtsextremen Kreisen weit verbreitet, aber der Bundeskanzler hat immer noch nicht begriffen, dass er auf das Grundgesetz vereidigt wurde, das ihn in besonderer Weise zum Frieden und zum Erhalt des Frieden verpflichtet. Aufgrund unserer Vergangenheit, den Überfällen auf Frankreich, Polen, Russland und viele andere Länder. Ja, und es gibt auch ein besonderes Verhältnis zu Israel, das aus unserer Geschichte erwächst und Solidarität erfordert. Aber keine blinde Solidarität für eine rechtsextreme Regierung Israels und auch nicht zur Zustimmung, wenn diese Regierung gegen das Völkerrecht verstößt.

So geht Solidarität mit Israel nicht

Beim BDI wurde nach seinem Statement gefragt, und ob er denn die Phrase “erledigen die Drecksarbeit für uns” so wiederholen würde.  Schon holte er gegen die Einwände der Völkerrechtswidrigkeit aus: “Iran sei DAS Terroregime der Welt – es habe erneut gegen die Verabredungen aus dem Atomwaffensperrvertrag verstoßen und nun vor ein paar Tagen das angereicherte Uran irgendwohin verbracht –  die Indikatoren deuteten seit Wochen, Monaten und Jahren daraufhin, dass der Iran die Bombe wolle – niemand brauche für Atomreaktoren höher als 60% angereichertes Uran – Iran sei ein Regime, das uns alle bedroht – um das zu beurteilen, dazu genüge reines Zeitungswissen…” (!!!)...”weshalb er nicht den Angriff Israels und der USA kritisiere”, sondern der “auch in unserem Interesse richtig ist.”

Deutschland hat ein Interesse an der UNO und am Recht

George W. Bush hat sich vor Beginn des Irakkrieges wenigstens noch die Mühe gegeben, den UN-Sicherheitsrat davon zu überzeugen, dass Saddam Hussein biologische und chemische Waffen besitze. “Sorry, I’m not convinced”- der historische Ausspruch des deutschen Außenministers Joschka Fischer. Wenige Jahre  und fast 5.000 tote und über 22.000 verletzte US-Soldaten sowie hunderttausende tote Iraker später stellte sich heraus, dass Verteidigungsminister Powell der UNO gefälschte Beweise vorgelegt hatte. Und heute reicht zur Beurteilung des Irans “Zeitungswissen” aus? Womöglich noch der “Bild”-Zeitung? Wenn ein deutscher Bundeskanzler nach solchen Kategorien Regierungsentscheidungen trifft, wird er zum Sicherheitsrisiko. 

Unzulässige Vereinfachungen

Er versteht nicht, dass er als Bundeskanzler nicht mehr schwallen kann, wie ein Blackrock-Berater beim Grillen mit Nachbarn in Paderborn. Dass er ganz beiläufig das Völkerrecht mit zweierlei Maß misst und damit den Konflikt in seiner Komplexität und den möglichen Folgen für die Zukunft offensichtlich gar nicht begreift, muss ernste Sorge bereiten. Denn das Völkerrecht schützt die Schwächeren und die Bundesrepublik und auch die EU gehören militärisch weltweit auch zu den Schwächeren.  Friedrich Merz verbrämt das alles mit einer “jetzt sag ich mal endlich die Wahrheit” Mentalität, dass er endlich ausspricht was so viele “normale” denken und das ist unappetitlich. Merz’ Erinnerungsvermögen scheint zudem nicht weit zu reichen – zu Trumps erster Amtszeit.

Trumps Kündigung des Atomabkommens mit Iran ursächlich

Es war Donald Trump, der 2017 aus dem Atomabkommen mit dem Iran ausgestiegen ist und die Folge war, dass die Atomkontrolleure eben nicht mehr den selben Einfluss behielten und dieselbe Transparenz fordern konnten, die erforderlich ist, um zu kontrollieren, ob der Iran eine Atombombe baut. Kim Jong Un und Nordkorea sind das beste Beispiel, was passiert, wenn man “Schurkenstaaten” aus den Verträgen lässt – sie besorgen sich die Bombe irgendwie illegal. Insofern hat Trump selbst die heutige Situation eines Iran, der außer Kontrolle zu geraten droht, mit zu verantworten.

Trumps Faustrecht verteidigt

Letztlich hat Merz mit seinen Äußerungen Deutschland und der EU nicht genützt, sondern geschadet. Wie will er nach diesen Äußerungen noch begründen, dass Deutschland und die EU die Rolle eines Vermittlers im Konflikt spielen könnten, wenn er sich derartig wie ein diplomatischer Elefant im Porzellanladen einseitig aus dem Fenster hängt? Dies ohne Not, denn weder bei Netanjahu, noch Trump kann Merz so Punkte gewinnen. Dagegen im Nahen Osten schon. Merz und Wadephul sind auf dem besten Wege, den – man muss schon sagen trotz Annalena Baerbock – noch guten Namen der Deutschen bei den Palästinensern und arabischen Staaten endgültig zu verspielen. Was Trump von den Verhandlungskompetenzen der EU hält, hat er Samstag nacht mit 14 Bomben gezeigt.

Regierung Merz ohne außenpolitisches Konzept

Die Regierung Merz schafft es, die Vorgängerregierung noch an außenpolitischer Konzeptionslosigkeit um Längen zu unterbieten. Bei aller Kritik an der “feministischen Außenpolitik” Baerbocks hat sie doch wenigstens ein erkennbares Konzept verfolgt. Was die CDU/CSU, die erstmalig seit Adenauer und Kiesinger wieder allein die Außenpolitik bestimmt, eigentlich will, ist nicht erkennbar.

Deutschland könnte in Palästina vermitteln

Anstatt Trump und Netanjahu Beifall zu klatschen und diplomatische Bemühungen in Sachen Iran zu vergeigen, könnte sich Deutschland zum Beispiel für eine Lösung für die Palästinenser und die Wiedereröffnung einer Chance für die 2-Staaten-Lösung und mehr Humanität in Gaza stark machen. Niemand als Deutschland ist (noch) auf beiden Seiten so angesehen wie die Bundesrepublik. Es hätte Gewicht, wenn der Bundeskanzler nach Israel und zu den Palästinensern reiste, um in diplomatischen Gesprächen mit Israel zu versuchen, die illegale jüdische Siedlungspolitik im Westjordanland in den internationalen Fokus zu rücken damit diplomatisch Druck auf die Rechtsextremen in der israelischen Regierung auszuüben. Anstatt Netanjahu völkerrechtswidrig in Deutschland zu empfangen und dem Zugriff des internationalen Gerichtshofs zu entziehen. Solche Gespräche könnten helfen, demokratische Kräfte in Palästina zu identifizieren, die z.B. mit Hilfe von den in Israel tätigen Stiftungen in den Bemühungen um demokratische Entwicklung unterstützt werden könnten. Aber das ist für Merz zu klein. Er möchte lieber “mit den großen Hunden pissen gehen” – die ihn dafür aber nicht brauchen.

Nachtrag 24.6. 1:48 Uhr MEZ: Donald Trump hat auf seinem asozialen Netzwerk eine Waffenruhe mit dem Iran verkündet, an die sich auch Netanjahu halten soll. Der “große Hund” ist ohne Merz pissen gegangen.

[#SexTrafficking victim] #Romero also told #CNN that 👉#Britt told an inaccurate story of Romero’s experience.👈
Romero said that she was trafficked by a pimp who operated as part of a family that entrapped vulnerable girls to force them into prostitution, 👉not by #Mexican drug cartels.👈

#Romero also said that 👉she was never trafficked in the United States, as Britt suggested.👈

#KatieBritt is a liar!

The #primeminister #press #conference was a #PepRally of and for a #party of #one... #BenjaminNetanyahu!
#PSYCHOBIBI!
#Netanyahu #now calls his #war of #attrition a second war of #independence and now calls #BIBISWAR his "#HOLY" #WAR #HOLYWAR...
As if there is ANYTHING HOLY about BIBI'S WAR!
BIBI is a #Criminal in #Israeli courts and is now a #WarCriminal!
#HAMAS ARE #WARCRIMINALS... BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BIBI!
Bibi says his war will be a #LONGWAR as BIBI DEFLECTS from any #CULPABILITY for his #FAILURES that caused this by claiming "we'll get to that later"...
Knowing that BIBI'S LONG WAR keeps his #CORRUPT #REGIME in #POWER so that BIBI never has to answer for his #CRIMES AGAINST #ISRAEL or his #WARCRIMES AGAINSTS #GAZA #PALESTINE!
There will #NEVER BE #PEACE OR #VICTORY for #Israeli #Israelis or #Jew #Jews as long as #NUT&#YAHOO and #LIKUD #KOOKS hold #office.
Like #GeorgeBush #GeorgeWBush #W #Bush...
#Today Netanyahu used the term "#AXISOFEVIL"!
Israel deserves better that #BIBI💩!
